Big straight draw OOP, board pairs turn
Back at baby stakes trying to build a roll on Stars... (hey, this is FUN rather than stressful!). What do you think of this line? Good? Spew?
I flop a nice 17-way straight draw on a rainbow board and lead out 3-way in the limped pot, get one caller. I'm fairly new to the table and these are basically unknowns. I could just give up on the turn, but I because I could easily have top two pair that has just boated up, and bet smaller to look like I want to get called - people will fold with draws very often when the board pairs. I could also just give up on the river when he calls the turn, but most people will be raising top two on the turn there, and if he had a set he'd be raising the flop, so I don't put him on a strong hand - maybe something like mine. I purposely made the river bet small both so that it's cheap for me and he folds drawing hands to a small bet anyway, and because half pot looks more like the kind of "call me" bet that you might make with tens full. But maybe I'm over-thinking and it would work better just potting the river with both bluffs and real hands here, not sure. Would this line work at higher stakes?

Re: Big straight draw OOP, board pairs turn
i think this is fine, although when im playing at micro stakes i tend to just pot all the time
on the river im happy to bet 70% of the pot to make it look like a value bet - villan could easily be in with 789x here and if you check and he decided to bluff you cant call with a better hand |

Re: Big straight draw OOP, board pairs turn
I think turn is good. River is a strange spot where the looser he is the more you should want to bluff him here, ie you should only bluff if you think he can have got here with a draw. And even then you might be best just to check since you have some showdown value against missed draws.

He tanked the river and called with AAxx with Spades... Maybe I should have made it more expensive.
